He just points out that if what Jesus actually did and said, per the Bible, is their blueprint for life then many have gotten it ass backwards. The biggest lessons? Take care of the poor, the sick, the weak, the immigrant & love your fellow human. JF never says whether he believes in a God or not.
Welp. There's an exhibit for a selective and vindictive prosecution motion. "She looks guilty."
The irony is that if most of them had actually studied the Bible enough to see all the contradictions and also how some of the alleged teachings of Jesus were in direct conflict their fascistic leader is taking this country they’d have to give up one or the other if they were honest about it.
I consider myself to be agnostic to about the same degree as Richard Dawkins, 99% range. I grew up in church & started asking the uncomfortable questions, virgin birth? raised from the dead?, by 10. I’m surrounded by people who consider themselves Christian. Some are pretty MAGA. THIS BOOK HELPS!
This was a word AND he cussed 😂
All headlines just from today 🇺🇸
We are fast becoming a banana republic, with two standards of justice. If you oppose the leader, you go to jail just for speech. If you're a loyalist, you get immunity for your crimes. That's what happens in Iran - not the United States. This is a decision moment for America.
Thank you for coming to my Teddy talk.
Ive never seen a more english political ad. #uk
Sen. Tim Kaine: "Brian Kilmeade 10 days ago suggested that homeless, mentally ill people should be lethally injected. He apologized...He didn't get pulled off the air."
Don’t like a TV show? Don’t watch it. I liked Jimmy Kimmel, so I watched. I hate Fox News, so I don’t. Problem solved.
The clock is ticking.
Mike Johnson said this kind of rhetoric is highly inflammatory and incites people.
😕 💵
WELKER: Do you believe Brendan Carr's comments were appropriate? RAND PAUL: Absolutely inappropriate. Brendan Carr has got no business weighing in on this.
Jimmy Kimmel and other late-night comedians have certainly said things about me that I found offensive, even outrageous. It never crossed my mind to call up the networks and say, "Hey, get rid of this guy." Because that's not how America works. play.prx.org/listen?ge=pr...
Networks—especially ABC, Disney, Hulu, and CBS—need to hear this: you’re standing on the wrong side of history, bending the knee to authoritarianism before the fight even begins, even though the law’s on your side. You’re losing viewers. We’re not going to stand w/you when you’re not standing w/us!
John Fugelsang’s new book “Separation of Church and Hate: A Sane Person’s Guide to Taking Back the Bible from Fundamentalists, Fascists and Flock Fleecing Frauds” is a phenomenal book no matter what your belief system is. If you’re sick of people using the Bible to justify hypocrisy and hate get it!
“On the next episode of Afganistan Development trump finds out who gave it up. I made a huge mistake…”
Didn’t the Soviets build Bagram?
Trump: "We're talking to Afghanistan. It should have never been given up."
Crockett: "I'm gonna honor someone who decided they were going to proclaim I was involved in the 'great white replacement'? Yeah, I'm not honoring that ... it's unfortunate more of my colleagues even on my side couldn't see the amount of harm this man was attempting to inflict upon our communities"
I’ve been a huge fan for over 55 years now. Some of my favorite concert experiences of my life. I love his songwriting, guitar and piano playing, his voice, his brain, his heart and, most of all, his attitude. Rock on Brother! Long may you run.
Neil Young brought it at Farm Aid. One of the greatest rock n rollers of all time.
The 400 richest Americans are now worth a record $6.6 trillion. The entire bottom 50% of America is worth just $4.2 trillion. Our problem isn't a lack of resources. Our problem is ever-expanding inequality.
One time, the Missouri Ethics Committee investigated me over a $30 donation…
There is no world in which it is normal for the president to publicly call upon his attorney general to hurry up and prosecute his political foes. It’s like the Watergate tapes but posted on social media. Let’s get a grip on what’s happening here.
THIS. 👉
New in PN: The lawyers who caved "If these shining stars of the legal profession are willing to betray the very legal system that gives them their value, one has to ask: is that system really working the way it should?"
History rhymes a bit too well sometimes.
This commentary offers a clear, powerful statement of why freedom of speech is at the heart of democracy and must be defended, whether the speaker is Charlie Kirk or Jimmy Kimmel, MAGA supporters or MAGA opponents.
Here's Senator Markwayne Mullin the lying MAGA plumber from Oklahoma making a fool of himself once again and then getting caught in his lies. youtu.be/8Hwb5iyyvdk?...
Antifa? Never heard of them. I am however fully against fascism and the fucks that support it.
Stephen Colbert: “Tonight we’re all Jimmy Kimmel…. With an autocrat, you can’t give an inch. If ABC thinks that this is going to satisfy the regime, they are woefully naive, and clearly they've never read The Children's Book If You Give a Mouse A Kimmel.”
Report: You To Be Fired For Reading This Headline About Charlie Kirk
This guy will now decide which jokes are appropriate.
They don’t have the power to do what they’re threatening on a grand scale. But they want us to think they do.
Just now, 11 state and city lawmakers were arrested by DHS police on the 10th floor of 26 Federal Plaza after a hour of demanding access to the ICE lock up on the same floor. @thecity.nyc
What the … ok for thy, but not for the????
I stand with PBS. I stand with NPR. I stand with Stephen Colbert. I stand with Jimmy Kimmel. I stand with the First Amendment. PERIOD.* *Also #ReleaseTheEPSTEIN_Files
The comment they claim to be offensive was not mocking Kirk's death. It was pointing out how Trump and the Right Wing are weaponizing this murder.
We lost a a true musician and artist when Hendrix left this third stone from the sun 55 years ago tomorrow. He might've had a short career, but his music will live forever. #JimiHendrix
He thinks he's clever by using the phrase "your belief system"... by which he's alluding to THE SCIENTIFIC METHOD.
Sen. Marshall: “Would you agree with me, at this point in time, that you're not the right person for this job?” Dr. Monarez: “If I am put in a position of having to say I will cede the scientific integrity to retain my job, then I am not the right person for the position.”
Whether you like or dislike what’s said, free speech is at the heart of our democracy. Protecting it should be one of our core missions as a nation. If there were ever a moment for the so-called “free speech warriors” to speak out, now would be the time.
The last political column I was allowed to write in the @washingtonpost.com was a criticism of Obama. His people took issue with my piece, but we were respectful. Now he is tweeting in support of me. This is how free political speech and respect for debate *actually works*. Or used to work.
they don't have the capacity to compel obedience by the process of law. they don't have the capacity to compel obedience by violence. the only lever by which they can obtain obedience is fear. do not offer it to them.
Dr. Monarez: “Kennedy demanded 2 things of me that were inconsistent with my oath of office and the ethics required of a public official. He directed me to commit in advance to approving every ACIP recommendation regardless of the science...He said, ‘If I was unwilling to do both, I should resign.’”
Cartoon by @mluckovich.bsky.social.
Obama: We have to recognize that on both sides there are people who are extremists But I will say that those extreme views were not in my White House. I wasn’t embracing them. I wasn’t empowering them. I wasn’t putting the weight of the government behind extremist views.
I would love to be part of the conversation on MSNBC related to the Kimmel story and it's chilling effects on first amendment, but unfortunately I was terminated by MSNBC for stating that "hateful thoughts lead to hateful words which lead to hateful actions".
Weird that the FCC Chair had no issue with Kilmeade wanting to euthanize homeless people.
So much free speech.
After years of complaining about cancel culture, the current administration has taken it to a new and dangerous level by routinely threatening regulatory action against media companies unless they muzzle or fire reporters and commentators it doesn’t like.
2022 — a confession:
💯
KAINE: Were you instructed by the secretary of HHS to not speak to senators? MONAREZ: I was instructed to not speak directly to senators KAINE: So Senate-confirmed CDC director instructed not to speak to senators
I trust medical experts and scientists over a heroin addict. This should not be a controversial position.
This is so messed up.
This is a fantastic article about Bluesky's origins, leadership and intentions. I love this forum/resource/app!
If you are passionate about your experience on Bluesky, then you should read this article. I truly appreciate the thoughtful approach they are taking to engage everyone and make this a positive experience. I became an X-Refugee after discovering this app, and I’m glad I’m not the only one.

Trump in July: "I hear Jimmy Kimmel is next.”
Congrats to Jimmy Kimmel for never bending the knee.
I stand with Jimmy Kimmel.
I stand with Jimmy Kimmel.
The right wing can complain all they want, but we will continue to fight for free and fair elections and against GOP collusion to undermine them.
Dr. Susan Monarez: “I could have stayed silent, agreed to the demands, and no one would have known. What the public would have seen were scientists dismissed without cause and vaccine protections quietly eroded…I would have lost the one thing that cannot be replaced: My integrity.”
Wordle 1,551 4/6 ⬛⬛⬛🟨⬛ ⬛🟨⬛⬛🟨 ⬛🟩🟨⬛🟩 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 Same but different.
former CDC official Dr. Houry: "I first learned that the secretary had changed our CDC covid vaccine guidance on an X social media post. CDC scientists have still not seen the scientific data or justification for this change. That is not gold standard science."
FYI here are my receipts on Chris Cuomo calling Jan 6th an insurrection back in 2021 which he told me tonight on air he ‘never’ said. I told him I had checked his Twitter 🤷🏽♂️👇🏽
Next time someone on the right claims all the political violence in this country is coming from the left, not the right, do please show them this. You're welcome
Monarez: "Kennedy demanded 2 things of me that were were inconsistent w/ my oath of office. He directed me to commit in advance to approving every ACIP recommendation regardless of the scientific evidence. He also directed me to dismiss career officials responsible for vaccine policy without cause"
I know I’m naive but it is pretty wild that the president of the United States just publicly declares he and the military killed some guys on a boat, multiple times, and the entirety of Congress doesn’t immediately hit a giant red IMPEACH button
"I survived an entire month using only 90s technology" Yeah, so did I, for an entire 10 years in fact.
How I feel right now.
An "...illustration of the way in which Trump's attacks on free speech now are deeply affecting the private sector." "EVERYONE IS AFRAID" @dennisgoris.bsky.social
This evil f*ck is the real threat to America. 🇺🇸
folks, I want to remind you that a ton of federal workers are about to get their last pay check at the end of this month and this stuff is going to get much worse
Mr. President: Operation Warp Speed & the COVID vaccine were a success. As you have stated, they saved “tens of millions of lives.” Vaccines have also helped eliminate polio, measles and mumps. Vaccines work. Let us listen to doctors and scientists, not conspiracy theorists.
